CactGuy found an interesting planter window box with an overgrown cactus in Dallas.
Far Out Flora is back in town and visiting the Bonsai collection at Lake Merritt.
Oregon Cactus Blog has some stunning deep pink Hoya flowers. I’ve never seen them that pink on a Hoya. Photoshop trick or all natural?
Lithops Stories is repotting some gorgeous Titanopsis calcarea seedlings.
Pitcher Plant Project has a large and successful pot of Sarracenia psittacina growing nicely and photogenically.

Around the Tumblrs

Ohcrackohcrack has a fondness for cactus. Maybe a bit too much fondness.

Pamelalovenyc likes the color pink. Nice Saguaro.
No photo for this next tumblr picture. It’s NSFW and an inappropriate use of cactus.

Outdoor Arizona has some good access to the Saguaros in Summer. Classic!
Spring!
According to CactGuy, Cactus Season has begun!
I think this means you can start fertilizing and watering.
Oregon Succulents
Luther’s purple Mimicry Plants needed some water. Hopefully he got them some water.
Visiting African Plants in Davis, CA
The Sacramento Cactus and Succulent Society took a visit to the African section at the UC Davis Botanical garden, and Bamboo and More was there to take all the blooming African Aloe pictures. It does appear to have been a sunny day, too.

And you can visit his tumblr blog too, this is 4 my blog.
Cowboy Painting with Cactus

I don’t know anything about this painting. I found it on the Instagrams, photo by justinclemons.
If we assume this picture was painted in Texas, and the cowboy is from 1892, given the outfit he’s wearing, especially the trademark red bandana, plus the length of the horse’s tail, we can determine this picture was painted in West Creek, Texas in July and from that we can determine the species of the cacti the horse is trying to avoid: Opuntia cowboyensis ssp. redtexbandanensis.
Good to know!
Ghostly Euphorbias
Danger Garden visited the Cactus Ranch in New Mexico and photos ensued. I especially like the ghost Euphorbias. But there’s enough photos to last anyone in their right mind hours of fun and entertainment.
Colorful Cacti
CactGuy has found some very “colorful” cacti and succulents, i.e. they’re painted or dyed and will not be long for this world. Poor things.
We’ve seen them out and around at the trade shows, along with things like blue orchids. Oh the horror.
Blogs Along the Nets
Gardening Succs took a visit to our own Cactus Jungle and lots of pictures ensued.
Did they enjoy their visit?
Our verdict? This place is worth a trek–and we’ll certainly be back!
Christmas Cacti
If this blog were a tumblr blog then all I would have to do is click the link to repost this item from the tumblr-o-sphere.
But no! I have a proper blog and all so I have to do a proper entry and calculate the settings and find the links and copy and paste and credit and so on, too.
And what is this really about? Christmas Cacti! Singing!

Also from CactGuy, this post linked from BatesNursery which was linked from Woseph of a mixed pot that Joseph planted up at the nursery. Things do seem to get around on the tumblr-nets.
Good to Grow
Good to Grow has a Stanley, also known by some as a Kalanchoe luciae although we call it K. thyrsiflora. It’s been doing very well, thank you, on the kitchen windowsill.
Click through for all the Kalanchoe goodness.
Joseph's Blog
Nice photos from around the nursery on this is 4 my blog.
Check out the picture of Keith in the pot.
Whippet pictures!
And why didn’t he share the praying mantis video? Why?
Carrion Flowers
I see that Plants are the Strangest People has a Stapelia in bloom. Very attractive! (To flies).
You Can Grow That!
It turns out, miracle grow notwithstanding, you can grow that. Yay!
This Will Blow Your Mind
A third leaf appears on a 4 year old Sansevieria at Plants are the Strangest People.
When will the awesome ever end?
In the meantime, since you haven’t clicked over yet, here’s a picture of some Echeverias. Enjoy!

Epi Blooms
An Epiphyllum, recently from a cutting, blooms in Iowa, according to Plants are the Strangest People.
Lots of blooming photos from all angles!
Break Time
It’s my summer blog break. 2, maybe 3 days.
Yay!
Random Succulents on the Tumblr's

Very fashionable. I especially like the small fish swimming in front.

Plants Abound
I see The Indoor Garden(er) got his stapeliad back to DC safely from Berkeley. The story of how this Stapelia got to DC started in Iowa, where Plants Are The Strangest People blogged about one first, leading The Indoor garden(er) to stop by the store and pick one up on his travels.
Iowa –> DC –> Berkeley
The circle of life!
By the way, we subscribe to the Stapelia theory of stapeliads, and do not approve of the Orbea theory of stapeliads.
Cactus Mosaic
In New Mexico, CactGuy shares a picture of a wall.
A restaurant’s cactus mosaic wall.
Nice.

Around the BlogSpherical-o-Sphere Including Cactus
It’s Cactus Monday at a Succulent Life and there’s a cactus ring and a cactus with cat mascot watercolor. You have to look closely to see the tiny saguaros on the ring, but it’s worth it.
Cactus Tub

From bloglet. And don’t miss the cactus from the San Diego Zoo that also needs to be weeded. I always see the weeds poking out between the spines on those golden barrels.
Book Learning
From sitting-looking, who took the picture from a Harpers from 1897. That’s awhile ago.

I see prickly pear cactus and bicycles, a standard combination for men with guns back in the 19th century.
Lithops Photos
Wow, those are some beautiful lithops at Lithops Stories.
